"We recognize that we have a unique opportunity to help Native Americans and, indeed, non-Indians as well," he said. Tribes and Indian organizations in Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota were the beneficiaries of millions in donations. The tribe also lent $41 million to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota. Get the Story:
